Segmentation and Tracking of Adherens Junctions in 3D for the Analysis of Epithelial Tissue Morphogenesis

Detection of mitosis and apoptosis events.
In addition to cell movements, notum morphogenesis involves extensive cell delamination at the dorsal midline [30] and extensive cell proliferation required for notum expansion [7]. We therefore incorporated into the tracker algorithms to detect mitotic and apoptotic events. A) The large light green cell in the upper left region splits to produce two daughter cells marked by the same color. B) The dark brown cell in the center reduces its area until it disappears.
